I have a 1967 Galaxie 500 2 door fastback with a 289, and I did the 390 FE swap. I can tell you that the standard issue I've seen on the water pumps is that the old-timers had overheating issues on those old FE's and that they were constantly filling or fiddling with the radiator or cooling system in general. That's why your fill tank was clogged as well. Typically the more motors you see, you'll see the last two cylinders on the FE's, get more heat saturation. That's why you see a lot of collapsed lifters, bent pushrods, worn valve guides, and sticky valves. Great video.👍

Hey Brother, great discovery with the Posi Rear!! Every time I replaced an FE engine in my 63 & 64 Galaxies, I pulled the valve covers. If they were covered in sludge (which they always were!), an old timer told me to run 3 qts of kerosene, two quarts of oil and a new filter. Let engine come up to temp, shut down and repeat process. Every time I've done this, when I remove the valve covers, the rockers were spotless. I HATED those expansion tanks!!! For some reason they always blew out the seams. Couldn't figure out why.

man peeling that undercoat is so satisfying. So clean underneath. Almost makes you wanna peel it all off, then recoat it

I believe that car has been sitting with the wheels buried to the frame in mud or in a flood. With those brake lines caked into the frame, brakes and drums rusted, and the transmission looked like it had water/ mud in it. And the trunk floor rusted out, it adds up to mud/ flood. I love those older model Fords. They will run the stripes off a zebra. I love watching you work on these old cars because I grew up with my grandfather who was a mechanic and I was like Ralphie. I went under them with him and as a kid I could take a motor apart and put it back like new. I'm 77 years old now and still love it. Of course I can't do the work now but sure enjoy watching you do it.

When I was about Ralphie's age the neighbors had a 64 Galaxie the same color as yours parked in the alley outside our back fence. I used to sit in it and pretend I was driving all over the place. One day I got out of it and when I slammed the door shut my thumb was in the door. My thumb put the door in a bind and it wouldn't open up. I had to yell and scream for dad to come and get the door open. It ended up breaking my thumb. What was most embarrassing was I was the piano player at our church and I couldn't play with a broken thumb. Everybody in the church and at school found out what I did and deviled the daylights out of me for the stupid thing I had done. Tell Ralphie to not get his finger in the door because it hurts like heck ! You guys are awesome.

Anti-freeze always ends up on the floor. Sometimes you see little bubbles of transmission fluid floating on top. Dad had a 1967 Galaxie 500 with an identical water pump. He put about 60,000 miles on it and never had a problem with the water pump. I just love watching these old Ford engines brought back to life. Out west of town in Wadesville, there is a 1966 Ford pickup truck with a 360 engine in it. It is not the original engine. I wish I had the space to bring it back to life. My '55 Chevy has front disc brakes with 1968 Oldsmobile Cutlass front spindles. It has an old single-stage Chevrolet brake master cylinder and does just fine with the front disc calipers. I have good, solid pedal. A couple of years ago I had to replace the long brake line that goes across the differential. It had rubbed a hole in the brake line. Ralphie should be out there with you while you are packing those bearings. He is such a fortunate young man. All your kids are! I love that car and wish I had one.
